Happy Mother’s Day! I lost my Mom in 2010, but she was an OG gamer. My Dad taught me how to play games but Mom taught me how to win them. We played a lot of Chess, but I seem to remember the endgame puzzles the most. Thus, my openings are terrible!
It was a good run. #RecoveringGeologist
I'm looking for interested playtesters who are willing to learn the rules and play a 20 minute match. I would then post the highlights of the match here with a link to the full match on YouTube.
May the Fourth be with you.
Always. 🖖🏼

After playing several games of “Otter” from Charming Games Collective, my wife and I decided to create a variant that increases the tactical decision-making, and it really worked. #boardgames
After a bunch of playtesting, v1.1 of “Palace: River and Stone” using @bethsobel.bsky.social cards is now available. Big change: The “Have Fun” card now resets the value of the face-up discard pile to zero. That opens the game up and avoids some pain 2p loops.
